Refiner Bhikan was one of the most famous refiners in the Ras Suzhen Tower. He opened a refiner's practice, located on the 5th floor of the building.

From the outside, the distillery looked luxurious and huge.

Guo Jiang noticed that there were many mystical-looking creatures of various ocean races, all covering themselves with robes or wearing masks.

There were more than 20 people waiting in line to receive services from Refiner Bhikan, with different weapons in their hands.

Khazi broke through the queue, however, despite receiving glares from the creatures in the long queue. Seeing a bad sign, a special badge was raised high by Khazi, the special badge of the Order of the North Tower, towards the masked guard girl in the living room who was seen fingering the sword on her table.

"There is an important matter that I must discuss with Refiner Bhikan at the first opportunity, now!" Khazi said. The badge in his hand looked similar to a shimmering-looking token made of pearlized leather.

    In one room where a Refiner practices...Guo Jiang witnessed Refiner Bhikan's weapon refining demonstrations and techniques; it was the first time he witnessed weapon refining even though his mentor was also a refiner.In that room, Bhikan was assisted by one assistant to perform the distillation action.Repeatedly Guo Jiang showed a look of surprise, awe, and sometimes he even seemed to be holding his breath—that was when the catalyzing materials were put into the combustion area that consisted of spirit flames—the magic results of Refiner Bhikan."Lift!" cried Bhikan with a solemn face, his gaze locked on the Shadow of Silence Sword.The spiritual sword lifted slowly from the table, as Bhikan's refiner's spirit power commanded the spirit inside the sword to follow his command (note: any item made by a refiner will automatically have its own spirit and can be awakened with magic power by a spirit master).The Sword of Silence was now seen speeding up, hovering and stopping in front o

    Bhikan hand’s waved, his magic energy—that invisible force—now churning the sword in the sea of fire.'He spent a lot of magic energy on the process this time. If he doesn't have enough Blue Manna, this sword won't be perfect,' Guo Jiang thought in panic.But the youngster's worries were unwarranted. The refiner's assistant hurriedly placed a handful of Blue Manna in front of Bhikan.The blue manna turned to dust when Bhikan inhaled loudly in the air and all the energy of the blue crystal transferred to Bhikan. His pale face turned reddish, a sign that his condition had returned to normal.This was a critical moment. The room, already quiet, was now silent, with no sound at all as everyone tensed to watch Bhikan in action.Bhikan's mouth was open; he was reciting a special incantation known only to a master spirit weapon flautist—the incantation to flute the sword of the Shadow of Silence.An hour passed in silence. Suddenly the silence was broken by a loud yell; Bhikan even stomped h

    The young man became very excited.'If I calculate my combat power, after wearing the Fading Wings of Dreams, my power increased by 200 jin.Now after using this upgraded sword, my battle power ability increases by another 300 jin!' Guo Jiang couldn't believe the results of his calculations.'That means the total combat power using these two items has now changed to 1500 jin.I even dare to exchange blows against a level 4 Earth-ranked practitioner,' the youngster almost pranced with pleasure.Guo Jiang thanked Refiner Bhikan; he paid with the promised Talisman. The refiner's face now beamed with pleasure. The two bowed to each other, then the youngster left the refiner's shop.Guo Jiang was not satisfied with the upgrade. This is a rare opportunity that should not be wasted, he thought.'I think the combat vest is to help with defense; it is one important piece of combat armor to me.Although I currently have a Quasi Silver rank sword, as well as wings of the same rank, both have att

    Guo Jiang confidently entered Yani's Alchemist Shop, a shop that sold pill and medicine supplies.He glanced around the room; it was filled with various bottles of medicine, the fragrance of Yao's Pill spreading everywhere. The Alchemist himself served him, now waiting for the youngster's question."If with my current cultivation level of level one Earth Rank Practitioner, does this Master Alchemist have any suggestions as to what kind of pill or tonic I should buy? That is, my wish is to be able to break through to a higher level within a short period of time," asked Guo Jiang a little anxiously.He knew that this Sushen Race was a genius. However, there could be certain impossible things that they might not be able to create. A short cultivation breakthrough pill, for example.The youngster felt that time was running out. Successive encounters with many high-ranked martial arts experts made his confidence slowly fade.At the meeting on Ice Island later, he could at least make an imp

    Guo Jiang hurriedly left Alchemist Yani's shop. He didn't stop there. He continued to walk around, looking for something unique and rare, which could be bought or exchanged for his Talisman."My talisman inventory is still more than 10 pieces. If there are other interesting things, I still have the capital to barter with these Sushen race merchants and scientists. A wise man said, a rare opportunity like this should not be wasted," he smiled still unsatisfied.Guo Jiang took a stroll up to an even higher tower in the hope that he would find other interesting things. But it was very unfortunate. In the following shops he came across, it was nothing more than a shop selling precious objects that he didn't really need.Sword techniques and basic cultivation techniques, for example.Although all the martial arts books and copies offered at those interesting shops, although the merchandise were top-level sword techniques and cultivation techniques, after Guo Jiang read the descriptions and

    This gift is nothing compared to your kindness in saving us both." Huang Guowei said."Are you able to guess what this black box contains?" Huang Guowei asked trying to look witty.The young boy shook the box and heard something make a loud noise. But he really couldn't guess what was inside the box. In the end, he fell down and gave up."Guo Jiang really can't guess the contents of this box. If Uncle Huang Guowei doesn't mind, let Guo Jiang open this box right now," Guo Jiang said politely.Huang Guowei smiled and nodded his head. The youngster quickly removed the tape covering the black box. Now the contents of the box were revealed. His eyes widened.A small scream sounded from Guo Jiang's mouth when there was a conch-shaped object; it rolled like a trumpet in a blackish color.Guo Jiang didn't expect it at all. He thought that this was a rare Artifact, the Black Conch Trumpet that was a special heirloom of Fuji Flower Island."I can't accept this gift. This black conch trumpet is

    Guo Jiang felt like his whole body was enveloped in a sense of relief and comfort. This cultivation realm change really made a lot of changes in his body."Is this what it's like for someone in the level 3 Earth rank realm?" he repeatedly thought in disbelief."I feel a lot of changes in my physique and abilities. My hearing is sharper, and my vision has become clearer," he thought, after he saw an ant clearly, even though it was at the end of his bedroom floor.Guo Jiang was even amazed. He even heard clearly the snoring sound of Ras Sushen, the innkeeper who sounded asleep in front of his room."Perhaps it would be wise for me to deliver one or two blows with this sword. Perhaps the difference in my combat power will be more pronounced than before," said the youngster inwardly.Although the bedroom space of the Starfish Inn was fairly small, it did not prevent Guo Jiang from trying out his combat power, now that he had experienced a level 3 upgrade in the Earth cultivation realm.Th

    Now after consuming the pills he bought from a renowned physician on Benevolent Veil Island, he had not only recovered. It felt like Huang Guowei's combat power had sharply increased; it was reflected in his atmospheric rank cultivator aura that radiated oppressively over anyone within 100 meters.No conversation or sound was spoken between the three of them. All silent in tranquility, they were enjoying the calm sea with the occasional wave breaking against the stern of the boat.It was the second day since they left Virtue Veil Island; all of them had a much different appearance and aura compared to when they entered Virtue Veil Island.Guo Jiang is an example. Now that he has become a Cultivator with an Earth realm cultivation level of level 3, he looks more mature and calm, but dangerous.Jiayi, the girl from Fuji Flower Island, was not to be outdone by her friends. At only thirteen years old, the teenage girl had already broken through, ranking as a first-level Earth realm cultiv

    Jiayi looked uneasy. She didn't want the two White Stream Sect Leader geniuses to kill each other."Cool brother Jiang, can't you break up those two youngsters?Your cultivation is much higher than Jiayi's.It would be much easier if one is from the same cultivation realm, compared to my low cultivation self, to separate those two youngsters who seem to be going crazy," Jiayi said with an expectant look at Guo Jiang.Guo Jiang thought for a moment. He considered the risk if he showed his snow lotus technique. He looked for an excuse to refuse."Then what answer should I give to that Yin Fu He? On the other hand, we both also watched him practicing with their Peach Moon Sect's secret techniques," Guo Jiang asked back.Jiayi was a resourceful teenager. With just a quick thought, she had come up with the right answer, just in case Yin Fu He turned his anger on the two of them."About that, brother Guo Jiang doesn't need to worry. I have thought of the right answer to silence Yin Fu He. F

  • Fifteen Steps, Endless Blades.

    The sword in Yin Fu He's hand was getting closer to Zhao Hua's back when it glowed in rainbow colors. Beautiful but dangerous.Jiayi was wide-eyed at the sight. Her heart was upset that there wasn't the slightest defense from Zhao Hua, who still seemed indifferent."You stupid dandy, he thinks the Rainbow Sword Technique is only a low-grade technique," Jiayi tensed up in fascination at the beauty of the Rainbow Sword.Suddenly, unexpectedly, Zhao Hua turned around quickly. His face broke into a faint smile, a look of disdain on his face. He wasn't stupid enough to just let the sword in Yin Fu He's hand split him in half.With a cold snort, his hand quickly brought out the sword that had been ready to come out of its sheath, too fast for the naked eye to follow.In a swift motion, still in a hovering state, Zhao Hua returned the sword strokes, now his demeanor changed from clumsy to serious and authoritative looking. His voice chanting the sword incantation was loud enough to raise the

    Jiayi was just about to jump out from behind the snow mountain and apologize to Yin Fu He, but her movement was stopped. Guo Jiang gripped the girl's adoration tightly, so tightly that she wanted to scream in pain.Her eyes bulged like they were going to pop out of their sockets, but her heart calmed down at the sight of Brother Guo Jiang's shady eyes."Hold back, sister Jiayi.We should not act rashly. The matter of peeping at people practicing their stash techniques is embarrassing.We should wait a little longer and see what happens. My guess is that Yin Fu He is too prejudiced. How could he possibly detect the two of us who are quietly safe due to the status of this protective Talisman?" said Guo Jiang, stepping cautiously with distrust of that Yin Fu He.There was silence, but the sea breeze carrying vapor and ice grains sounded rough.Five winks passed, and Yin Fu He seemed to lose his patience. Sword sounds rang out as the youngster of the Crescent Moon Sect drew a sword. His f

  • Arena of Shattered Ice.

    Because he held a VIP invitation that was a special invitation for the Thirteen Immortal World Rulers Sect Master, Huang Guowei was given a place to stay, a large pavilion that could accommodate more than 20 people.The Ice Island's master had apparently made professional preparations by setting up so many makeshift buildings as lodgings for so many sects, that is, outside of World Lord Martial arts world's thirteen largest sects.They passed through a large arena where the floor looked like a mirror; it was the original floor of ice crystals that were decades old—never melted a speck.There were tons of circular seating seats around the stage of the ice-crystal-floored arena.Huang Guowei glanced indifferently then whispered to Guo Jiang and Jiayi."It looks like the host intentionally made a combat arena, it's the most dangerous arena I've ever seen.The floor of this ice crystal is very slippery, so the best balance and Qinggong techniques will be helpful in case you join the fight

    Even from afar, the scent of jasmine mixed with lavender wafted up to their ocean-going ship.Jiayi laughed lightly at the dandy figure."That 15-year-old youngster is named Zhao Hua. He's the only son of the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan in the Ancient City of the Northwest Slope of this continent.At this young age, Zhao Hua had broken through to become a level 3 Earth Rank Practitioner. He mastered the 15 Steps of Death Sword Technique, a deadly sword technique of the Zhao Clan.Rumor had it that if someone in the Clan inherited the 15 Death Sword Movement Technique, then that person would become the next Patriarch of the Zhao Clan."Guo Jiang chuckled after hearing all of Jiayi's explanation. Indeed, in his recent journey, he felt that with his ability to break through to become a level 3 Earth Practitioner, it was extremely extraordinary. He was counted as a genius and a rare existence in the Martial arts world.But that sense of pride instantly melted away, drowning in the cold sea

  • Peach Moon and Lightning.

    In the Northern Region of the Silver Screen Continent, the snow season seemed to never end throughout the year. Even if spring or summer came around, it wasn't too long before the flower season and summer would move quickly, welcoming the arrival of fall as the start of the long snow season.Today was a beautiful day, when the sky was clear and bright, free of gray clouds. Nonetheless, here in the North Sea, the surface of the sea was pure white with thin ice glistening in the sun, making the three medium-sized ships sailing across the sea look like huge whales swimming on a silver mirror.Guo Jiang and Jiayi stood on the bridge of their Ocean Crossing ship, looking at the ice crystals that lay glittering on the seawater, looking like a glass tapestry.On the starboard side of their ships, within a safe distance was each ship on the starboard side with a large pennant; it depicted half a peach blossom, side by side with an embroidered silver crescent moon, with two other swords crosse

    Guo Jiang said, "Give this pill to your leader. I suggest that he rest for no less than one month on a bed and not force himself to do any strenuous activities.If he violates the terms of treatment I have described, don't blame me if your leader young master will lose all his cultivation. If he doesn't take a complete rest within 1 month, his dantian will be damaged by the cold of the Snow Lotus, and then he will become a cripple."Ren's words were casual and unremarkable. But in the ears of the group of pirates who were also busy tending to their severely injured young master, the real threat of space sounded like a thunderclap in broad daylight.The dozens of people then knelt down to worship Guo Jiang while expressing their gratitude and promised not to violate the treatment rules required by the young man and would also pay close attention to who was worth reading and which groups they could not touch.There was no need to wait too long after Ren Huang pardoned the pirate leader'

  • One Strike, Endless Frost.

    Guo Jiang swung the Silent Shadow Sword; he performed a poking motion that contained a deadly cold force, the magnitude of which was as heavy as 1900 jin. It was even one fierce pure air power that was higher than the pirate man's combat energy.Wush!Qian Chang swung back, intent on blocking Guo Jiang's sword strike. In his view, his sect's Water Snake Sword Art had a defense ability that was as solid as a summer fortress. But suddenly Qian Chang's chest was tight in a freeze.All eyes now looked with pity at the young pirate leader.The young man who claimed to be Roque Kultivator swore with a strange technical chant that made the air instantly condense into crystals and time seemed to slow down."Ice Island Cold Energy!" a horrified hiss sounded from the mouths of the pirate members.The youngster was now so fast that his movements were barely caught by the eye. Everyone was surprised to see Guo Jiang flying across the long distance between ships, his wings flapping beautifully.It

    Qian Chang was a genius of the Water Snake Sect, which was one of the ten sects of the pirate group that ruled the waters of the North Sea. Out of the ten pirate sects in the North Sea, the Water Snake Sect was the most dominant, as it had many members who were mostly early to mid-level Earth ranked lake river cultivators.Qian Chang was the nephew of Pirate Sect Master Qian Lau. Pirate Qian Lau loved his nephew Qian Chang very much, considering that he had been nurtured by Qian Lau since childhood, so the old Pirate had considered Qian Chang as his own biological son.Growing up in a harsh environment full of lake river criminals, and being hailed from an early age as the young master to replace the old pirate Qian Lau, made Qian Chang grow up to be a proud young man who never knew the meaning of hardship.Indeed, since he was a child, the boy had always been pampered and had never known the meaning of defeat in his life; that was because all members of the Water Snake Sect respected
